HON. NII AMASAH NAMOALE GRANTED ABSOLUTE PARDON BY GREATER ACCRA NDC

The Member of Parliament for Dadekotopon in the Greater Accra region Hon. Nii Amasah Namoale has been pardoned after apologising to the Greater Accra Regional Executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Hon. Namoale was suspended from the party with effect from December 1 2015 pending the hearing by the Discipline Committee in line with the party’s constitution for making disparaging comments about some of the Regional Executives of the party after the presidential and parliamentary primaries in his constituency.

He however apologised to the leadership of the party in the region on the 16 of December 2015 for the way and manner he conducted himself after the primaries and has assured the region of his highest respect.

He indicated in his letter that “Clerics and traditional leaders in my constituency have had a meeting with me to know and understand that my choice of words in the interview I granted to the various media houses was unacceptable as their member of parliament”.

The Regional Executives have thus pardoned him and have quashed their earlier decision to suspend him from the party. They have also expressed their gratitude to the said clerics and traditional leaders for their exemplary leadership and urged all others to enhance Ghana’s growing democracy.
